Are you watching that?

Is there some ruling that makes Robert unavailable?

Those two in their primes were just too good for it not to work.

Colo couldn't lace a fit Woodgates boots. A fit Woodgate could barely lace his own boots due to his glass-like physique. Colo over Woodgate every time in my all time 11.

Just had a look at the odds on my score accumulator. Both Bayern and Forest incapable of scoring more against 10 men and the missed penalties too. ARS-BAY MIL-ATL NOT-LEI and €0.2 bet on everything. 0-2 0-1 3-2 3233,11 0-3 0-1 3-2 5012,18 0-4 0-1 3-2 13930,92 0-4 0-1 2-2 4191,60 1-4 0-1 3-2 10764,80 :'(

Nice evening. €25 on Atle+Costa @5.00 €15 on Atle 1-0+Costa FGS @13.00. Also a score accumulator (0-2. 0-1, 2-2) returns ~€170 with a €40 bet. Would've returned a ton more if Forest had scored one more and/or Bayern 3 or 4 goals.

Class.

Don't see why everybody is complaining btw. Seemed well cynical/"professional" Complaining about the rule mostly. Outside of the box that's a 100% sending off, so I don't get the debate.. A red and a penalty being too harsh. Complaining about the rule book, not that incident. I don't think it is tbh. A pen can be missed, so why would only a pen be satisfactory when it's a red outside of the box (last man, goalscoring chance and all that jazz). Now, a suspension I can see as harsh, but a pen + sending off seems about allright to me. If you miss the penalty it's your fault. One incident shouldn't be deciding the whole tie. Yellow+penalty or red+free kick is the way to go IMO. How is it your fault if the pen is missed when you could theoretically have p*ssed the ball in when you were fouled? A pen is hardly a guaranteed goal. This is another possibility by bimpy: The red card thing, i have the opinion of if it's missed the player keeps the red card, if the penalty is scored the player stays on and gets a yellow.

It's not a "typical no red card" situation. But, when you consider what kind of game it is, what is at stage, it's still 1st half, still an very open game... you shouldn't sent him off - it kills the game. A yellow and a penalty - which would normally mean 1-0 to Bayern - should be enough. The rules need to be changed. That's a red 100% of the time today but IMO it shouldn't be like that.

Such a bullshit rule. Pen and a yellow wouldn't be enough?

This gets always mentioned when players miss after that run-up. It's ridiculous. Neymar is an example of a player that always does it and rarely misses. Scores -'Nice calm penalty, well done lad' Misses -'I fucking knew it the moment he did that stupid stuttering'

Wow.

The Olympics have been a one big massive anguish. Down ~€1.5k but been making good bets with a solid strategy and knew before hand that the variance is huge. The first day of the Olympics was the only good day. I have mostly bet on a Finnish bookie who offer changing odds depending on other people's bets on almost any event where you bet on the top 3 on right order. Then I've been comparing the odds with the biggest international bookies. Have got some great odds where the Finnish people have had different favourites to the other world but have just ran extremely badly. Oh well, hope the World Cup is a bit better.

I must've followed the only bet that didn't come home.

Pellegrini. The ref didn't have the best game but what's that got to do with his nationality? Second time in few hours I'm defending our lovely neighbours despite the ongoing slaughtering at the Olympics.

Get out. They are both very special looking human males. We'll see how Lundqvist looks in 15 years.

Looking at him is disconcerting. It is. Teemu still edges it by being 55 years old.

They are no Swansea like.
